Uv Body Suits
This is an image from the friendly fires video skeleton boy, they use some kind of uv paint on their outfits and drum kit. This gives a good effect and is a style we may encorporate into our video using uv paint.

UV paint
These are the website's where we ordered our Uv paint from.
we ordered:
6 pack of skin safe uv paint
uv contact lenses
this came to around £38
We are going to use these items in our video and paint ourselves to give the effect in the style of the skeleton boy video by friendly fires we have refered to in our mood board and on another recent blog

Influences
Whilst researching into music video's we came across this video, which we really liked the camera shots, and how the whole video came together and edited. we also liked the idea of the darkness they use in the video with a party like atmosphere which influenced us to continue with our video idea.

Locations for filming + Ed Lovelace
We have been having a dilema for where we could have our set. at first we thought we could have a room in a friends house that we could use, but then we thought the UV paint may damage the room. after a lot of thought we decided to think of somewhere, such as a shed or barn where we could make a mess.
Suggestions
Shed
deserted house
feild
kids play pak
public areas
garages
Ed Lovelace Talk In The Hall
Ed Lovelace is an ex Long road student who studied media. He kindly came in to talk to us about the music video industry. He has worked on smaller bands music videos and has progressed on to bigger budget and bigger band videos. for example he directed the gallows first video with only £100 budget and then went on to create two videos for the band Cage the elephant for £40,000 each. He is hoping to break into the film industry with his documentay/film called Werewolves across America but the film distribution is at a standstill because he needs clearance from the artist he was following in the documentary.
There is three main jobs when directing a music video, Director of photography, art director and cinematography. Each video has a set amount of time for each job to be done. The pitch takes three days, planning is one week, filming is one day and editing is three days making the whole process a two week project.
Certain parts of the footage in filming need to be changed, for example you can use colour correction to make the film look how ever you want it to such as changing atmosphere or the brightness of the shot.

Lyrics
Below are the lyrics for our music video, translated from french to english,
"I breathe the sweet air of the city
City, city, ah-ah.
It circulates the neon colors
Neon, neon, ah-ah.
I imagine a film in French
french, french, ah-ah.
In this bloated white Mercedes
In this bloated Mercedes.
The night,
tonight,
Oh night, oh night without end.
Midnight I'm so high at the party.
party, party ah-ah.
The mix of vodka gel�e and the beat
the beat, the beat ah-ah.
You flash on the balcony of Paris
paris, paris, ah-ah.
And me excited, with your look risky,
you with your exiting look.
The night,
tonight,
Oh night, oh night without end.
The night,
tonight,
Oh night, oh night without end.
Search the tomb of Gainsbourg for six hours,
six hours, six hours ah-ah.
Our hearts, cocaine, at Montparnasse
cocaine, cocaine, ah-ah.
It assassinates one of these tunes
These tunes, these tunes ah-ah.
it plays hide and seek in the morning,
plays hide and seek.
The night,
tonight,
Oh night, oh night without end."
....
from this we can establish a clearer picture of the songs substance and can
also incorperate our own ideas to fit with whats being sung.
"I breathe the sweet air of the city
City, city, ah-ah.
It circulates the neon colors
Neon, neon, ah-ah.
I imagine a film in French
french, french, ah-ah.
In this bloated white Mercedes
In this bloated Mercedes.
The night,

Oh night, oh night without end.
Midnight I'm so high at the party.
party, party ah-ah.
The mix of vodka gel�e and the beat

Costume and camera
With these images,
we can vastly develop our ideas towards costume, camera and even some lighting techniques!
Influence
This is a music video for the same robots in disguise song however this video was made by another member of the public.
Some of the techniques, costumes and camera angles could prove to be extremely helpful when developing ideas towards our own music video!

Post card final idea
We have designed a post card to advertise our music video. On the post card we have put information about the videos release date. We used very bright colours which reflect the style of the music. Also this stands out and is very eye catching
